Ensuring that your HR processes and the KSF are aligned to each other gives longevity to the KSF implementation, and provide you with a new way of looking at how you manage your Human Resources

Implementing the KSF

Embedding the KSF in HR Processes and Policies

Increasingly, we're seeing organisations "mainstreaming" the KSF by moving responsibility from a project team, to a HR or Learning and Development team.

We can help you to:

• Remind your organisation's leadership about the original purpose of the KSF - to ensure that staff have the knowledge and skills, and access to develop these knowledge and skills, to improve patient care and organisational performance.
• Understand which of your current HR processes and policies supports, is neutral to, or is at odds with the KSF.
• Update policies and processes where necessary to fit with the KSF ethos, policy and best practice guidance.
• Engage HR teams with the KSF, by demonstrating how the use of KSF can help them in their day to day work.
• Align the KSF with your existing appraisal systems, to ensure that managers and staff see these two key processes as part of the same overall job of employee management.
• Use the KSF as part of your recruitment and assessment processes, showing you how KSF post outlines can be used at recruitment time, and how interviewing managers can use the KSF indicators to run competency-based interviews.
• Use the KSF to inform your approach to risk management, by focusing on measurement of competence, rather than just attendance at mandatory training courses.
• Explain how correct implementation of the KSF can help you to improve your corporate governance, and how it links to corporate manslaughter, age discrimination and equal opportunities legislation.

The services we offer in this area are very much dependant on your organisation's overall and HR objectives and strategy, so please contact us for a chat about how we could work together in this area.
